0.0 hrs. This is not required. If it is, I have never done so and never noticed any premature clutch wear.

You should break them in the same amount of time as you would a set of tires, a coil ( That one was for TimSr ), or a headlight bulb. lol, No break-in time is required.

It's kind of a touchy subject, and some say it dont matter, but I only use Honda 4 stroke oil.

Any one of those shops should have 4 stroke oil that would work good

Are you soaking the clutches in oil before you put them in? I always let mine soak in oil overnight.

Check the clutch freeplay as well. If it's too tight, the disks will just slip and burn up.

Are you replacing the springs when you put in new plates? If not, that may be why the clutch does not work for long.
